Jostein GaarderThe truth is that I feel totally helpless, or totally inconsolable, to be more honest. I’m not trying to hide it, but it’s something you’re not to worry about.
About This Quote
We all feel helpless at some point in our lives. Some older adults may feel helpless when dealing with the day to day activities of daily living. However, most people feel helpless when they are in desperate need of help. It can be hard to admit that you need help with even the smallest task, but you do, and the sooner you accept it, the sooner you can get on with your life.
